Lichtenberg, Books Worth Re-Reading
- Ms. Strauss draws solid characters, caught up in a potential reformation, and affected by the all-seeing Stone
at the heart of this world empire. Quick Looks by Henry L. Lazarus
- Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. B&N Explorations
- I could barely put the book down...Ms. Strauss has done an exceptional job. Ed's
Internet Book Review
- Highly recommended. The Arm of the Stone is a fascinating study of the conflict of orthodoxy and heresy...There
is much more I want to know about the world and times of Bron and his cohorts, so I'm not above begging for another
intelligent, well-crafted work by this excellent author. Under the Covers
Book Reviews
- This intricately wrought fantasy is built layer upon carefully crafted layer to create a well thought out and
beautifully constructed world. Strauss is a writer to watch for and The Arm of the Stone is an outstanding
fantasy novel. Diana Tixier Herald for Genreflecting
- I rate this book a 9 out of 10. If there is a sequel, and I am hoping that there is…it will definitely be on
my reading list. Bookbrowser
- The Arm of the Stone delivers both an engrossing trip through the story and one of the most impressive
climaxes seen in the genre of late. It is a novel of loss, rage, and ultimately, one of hope. Sharon
Schultz-Elsing for Curled Up With a Good Book
- >I was mesmerized by the dialogue, the characterization, the way all the people in this rich tale came together...This
book will leave you breathless and wanting more. Titan Magazine
- Strauss creates characters that you can really feel for....That ability combined with a unique idea makes this
book, in my opinion, a "must-read" for fantasy fans. The
Bookwyrm
- Victoria Strauss has done something very rare here, taking a vast range of the conventions of fantasy literature,
and achieving something totally new with them....It is rare that I will love a book AND look forward to its sequel.
Not so here. Suzie's Book Pages
- This book does not follow the standard fantasy template at all, but tells a new kind of story where the destined
Hero takes control of his own life and does things his way....this book will not disappoint you if you are ready
for something different. The Grand Library
